The Preamble Of the New Service Bill
Exposes it.

Mobilization.

BERLIN, December 1O.-The preamble OF
the new German military service bill was
issued tonight. 1t sets forth that the Ger
man army is composed OF men whose
liability to serve in the active army extends
over twelve years, whereas;the in Russian
army the period is fifteen years and in the
French twenty. Besides this it must be
considered, says the preamble, that the
geographic position Of Germany exposes
her to attacks by powerful armies on two
frontiers simultaneously. Her security lies
in her strength and this should be greater
than it is a present. An end must be put
to the existing uncomfortable condition Of
things. The Government therefore expects
that to secure the passage OF the present
bill, it will be sufficient to
APPEAL TO TIE PArR1orIsM
of the German people. By the bill before
the Reichstae six yearly classes, formerly
composing part of the Landsturm, are
placed in immediate readiness for any dan
gerous emergency. The increased cost OF
administration involved in augmenting the
number OF men who have to answer roll call
will not exceed 10000 marks. The o
recurring expenditures incurred are esti-
mated at $50, 600 marks, and for the navy
further measures are in contemplation.
The whole tone of this remarkable mani
festo suggests that the recent outburst OF
the official press over the massing of Rus
sian troops on the frontier had something
of q fictitious character.
PRES CAMPAIGN INcITED.
Prince Bismarck is known to have great
~ hurt the chances for the immediate pas
sage OF the Landsturm bill, which the press
now estimates will add 100000 to the
effective force in event OF mobilization
as a press campaign. recalling a similar
agitation preceding the septennate vote,
was melted and will be sustained until the
bill passes. The concentration Of Russian
troops on the frontier at the present time
sian war Office. They are considered to bs
necessitated by the special difficulties OF
Russian mobilizing. At the same time the
presence OF
FORMIDABLE MASSES OF RUSSIANS
within striking distance OF the frontier will
be held by the keicustag as a justification
for a complete reform of the military. The
Pesther Lloyd, in a pacific article, invites
Russia to state her policy regarding Bulga-
allied powers to meet Russian views and to
maintain peace with q loyal observance OF
treaties. The article concludes with the be-
lief held in high diplomatic quarters that
Germany and Austria will compel Prince
Ferdinand to abdicate if Russia will bring
forward a suitable candidate for the Bulga-
rian throne.

A PENSION OFFICE ROMANCE.
A Mexican Pensioner Lost to His Family
for Thirty-Seven Years.

A Mexican Pensioner Lost to His Family
for Thirty-Seven Years. j,
Washington special: There is an old En-
glish story to the effect that a staid and
quiet Londoner left his house one morning
and did not return again for q long period
of years. His wife, who had incurred him
as dead, was surprised one day by her hus-
bands temperance. He made no expla-
nation OF his conduct. and she, being a SEN
sible woman, forbo1e to question him. 1t
appears that for ten years he had lived in
an adjoining street, passing his own home
daily. The story, whet: er true or false,
iRds a parallel in certain developments
which have just come to light in the
United States Pension Office. Several
weeks ago John NJ. Brown OF Belaire, Rich
mond County. Georgia,
APPLIED FOR A PENSION
due him as a soldier in the Mexican war
He showed By reliable witnesses that he
had served in Company B, First Georgia
Volunteers. and received an honorable dis
charge. The same mail brought a letter
from Mrs. Eleanor NJ. Brown. residing in
Augusta, Richmond County. Georgia. in
closing an application for a pension as
the widow Of John NJ. Brown, who had
served in the aforesaid company and regi-
inent. As there was apparently no doubt
OF the identity OF Brown, the officer allowed
his pension and
NOTIFIED THE WIFE
that her husband was not only living, but
that his home was really only a few miles
distant from her own. 1t appears from
the report Of tho examiner who ~investi-
gated the case that Brown, after returning
from the war, paid q business visit to the
city of Cincinnati. His wife was subse-
quently notified that he had died at the
general hospital in that city of a malignant
disease. During all these years, thirty
seven, i'll fact, the Widow Brown has been
true to the memory OF her supposed dead
husband. For the same length of time the
supposed dead man has been living almost
within sight OF his own door. The ex-
aminer's report gives no explanation OF
Browns strange conduct.
